Not to worry, MSM NBC will edit and chop the interview so it comes out, he hates Bush, the GOP, and the war in Iraq is a travesty of justice against the free world.

I wouldn't doubt it...but just wanted to alert folks in case they wanted to see
if NBC lives down to that sort of "journalism".
Myself, I just find it interesting to rarely see them drop the ball and
actually do honest news reporting.

[VOA]

bump for publicty...show should be on in the East Coast timezone...NOW

Just watched it. I am so happy you let me know about it. I wouldnt have seen it otherwise. What a story. I thought NBC allowed him to express the fullness and depth of his faith. He was constantly explaining that he was totally surrendered to the Lord during the ordeal and that everything that happened was completely in the Lord's hands and done according to His ordinance. They allowed the townspeople their witness as well by showing the support and prayer activity on his behalf. What a rare story and so well worth watching.

The lady interviewing him mostly did a good job, but there were subtle moments when I detected a whiff of the liberal bias...hard to put my finger on, though.

Mr Hamill is a true example of the best America has to offer. He uses his celebrity to remind folks to pray for the troops and the ones who are yet remaining in enemy hands. He even states that it is his duty to return.

The show hasn't aired yet here on the West Coast, but IIRC, Ann Curry was doing the
interview.

IIRC, she was a US military dependent (US military dad, Japanee mother?)...at the same
time she's probably inhaled a bit of the atmosphere on the Today Show set (from Ms. Kouric).

She's not the best or the worst interviewer on the air...in my fallible opinion.

[VOA]

Bump...show will air on The West Coast in about 55 minutes...

BARF ALERT! I cannot believe that b!tch and Katie stooge Ann Curry pressed Hamill to denounce the Abu Graihb prison abuse with that lead in: "BUT SOME OF THEM WERE REPORTEDLY SODOMIZED! HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?" Hamill showed he was a class act by declining to comment at all. Love this guy...must get him in the House. Ann Curry is beyond the pale, although I wouldn't throw her out of bed.

I saw the interview, except for the comments about Abu Grab by his interviewer, I thought it was good. Hammel is a true patriot. He brought tears to my eyes. God bless him and his family. Wow!
